What is a SOC 2?
A Service Organization Control (SOC 2) audit provides an independent assessment of your organization's internal controls using up to five trust principles: Security, Availability, Confidentiality, Privacy, and Processing Integrity. The SOC 2 report will serve to demonstrate your dedication to maintaining a highly effective cybersecurity program. The SOC 2 audit isn’t just a compliance checkpoint; it’s a proactive step toward building stakeholder trust and confidence in your operational and security practices.
